Learning through Fun. Classical Antiquity in Tytus, Romek i A’Tomek, a Polish Comic Book Series
No full textDie Reihe Tytus, Romek i A’Tomek findet seit der Erstpublikation im Magazin Świat Młodych (1957) großen Gefallen bei Kindern und erfreut sich bei polnischen Leser*innen seither konstanter Beliebtheit. Der Autor, Henryk Jerzy Chmielewski, hat die Bändchen der Reihe beginnend mit 1966 als separate Heftchen publiziert. Die Comics handeln von zwei Buben und einem Schimpansen namens Tytus, dessen Intellekt dem eines Menschen gleichkommt. Die gemeinsamen Abenteuer enthalten eine Fülle erzieherischer Elemente, da die Protagonisten auf stets geistreiche und unterhaltsame Art Wissen über die Welt erwerben. Der Schwerpunkt der vorliegenden Analyse liegt auf der Sichtbarmachung der Vermittlungs- und Gestaltungsstrategie, wie Informationen über die Olympischen Spiele, das griechische Theater und römische Gladiatorenkämpfe erfolgreich in Comicbücher für Kinder integriert werden können. The series Tytus, Romek i A’Tomek is largely enjoyed by children and has been popular with genera-tions of Polish readers since it was first printed in 1957 in the magazine Świat Młodych. Since 1966, the author Henryk Jerzy Chmielewski has been publishing the series in the form of independent booklets. The comics are about two boys and a chimpanzee, Tytus, whose intellect is similar to that of a human being. Their adventures feature many educational elements as the characters learn about the world, and yet they are still incredibly witty and entertaining. The focus of this analysis is to show how information about the ancient Olympic Games, Greek theatre and Roman gladiator fights can be successfully incorporated into a children’s comic book. 
Tytus Filipowicz – zarys biografii (do 1939 r.)
No full textArtykuł przedstawia zarys biografii Tytusa Filipowicza (1878-1953) – jednego z wybitnych działaczy niepodległościowych, dyplomatów i polityków. Praca omawia najważniejsze epizody z życia Filipowicza od czasów młodości do roku 1939, gdy na zawsze musiał opuścić Ojczyznę w wyniku najazdu wojsk Niemiec i Związku Sowieckiego. W artykule kolejno opisano jego działalność socjalistyczną w Zagłębiu Dąbrowskim, emigrację do Wielkiej Brytanii, aktywność w ramach Polskiej Partii Socjalistycznej oraz niezwykle ważną podróż u boku Józef Piłsudskiego do Japonii w roku 1904. Autor naświetla akcję polityczną, prowadzoną przez Filipowicza w czasie I wojny światowej i jego obecność w strukturach Departamentu Wojskowego NKN, Legionów, a następnie współpracy z Tymczasową Radą Stanu i Radą Regencyjną. Szczególnym momentem w życiu bohatera było kontrasygnowanie, wraz z Józefem Piłsudskim, depeszy notyfikującej powstanie niepodległego państwa polskiego. W dwudziestoleciu międzywojennym Tytus Filipowicz pełnił służbę dyplomatyczną jako kierownik Misji Specjalnej RP na Kaukaz Południowy, był posłem nadzwyczajnym i ministrem pełnomocnym RP w Moskwie (1921), Finlandii (1922-1927), Belgii (1927-1929) i w Waszyngtonie (1929-1933). Po przejściu w stan spoczynku Filipowicz brał udział w życiu politycznym II RP, a w 1937 r. związał się ze Stronnictwem Demokratycznym. Nieujęty w tym krótkim opracowaniu jest ostatni okres życia, jaki Tytus Filipowicz spędził na emigracji we Francji (1939-1940) i w Wielkiej Brytanii (1940-1953), gdzie był aktywnym uczestnikiem życia emigracji, członkiem I oraz IV Rady Narodowej, a także przewodniczącym III Rady Narodowej.The article presents an outline of the biography of Tytus Filipowicz (1878-1953), one of the outstanding independence activists, diplomats and politicians. The work discusses the most important episodes in Filipowicz‘s life from his youth until 1939, when he had to leave his homeland forever as a result of an invasion by German and Soviet troops. The article successively describes his socialist activity in Zagłębie Dąbrowskie, his emigration to Great Britain, his activity within the Polish Socialist Party, and his extremely important trip with Józef Piłsudski to Japan in 1904. The author highlights the political action carried out by Filipowicz during World War I and his presence in the structures of the Military Department of the Supreme National Committee, the Polish Legions, and then his cooperation with the Temporary State Council and the Regency Council. A special moment in the life of the hero was the countersigning, together with Józef Piłsudski, of a dispatch notifying the creation of an independent Polish state. In the interwar period, Tytus Filipowicz served as the head of the Polish Special Mission to the Southern Caucasus, and was an envoy extraordinary and minister plenipotentiary of the Republic of Poland in Moscow (1921), Finland (1922-1927), Belgium (1927-1929) and Washington (1929-1933). After his retirement, Filipowicz took part in the political life of the Second Republic of Poland and in 1937 he joined the Democratic Party. Not included in this short study is the last period of his life that Tytus Filipowicz spent in exile in France (1939-1940) and Great Britain (1940-1953), where he was an active participant in the life of exile, a member of the 1st and 4th National Council, as well as chairman of the 3rd National Council

Chapter Listy z Warszawy [Letters from Warsaw] by Tytus Czyżewski – an outline of the issues discussed
No full textIn addition to being a painter and poet, Tytus Czyżewski was also an art critic, collaborating with numerous periodicals. Between 1932 and 1937, he published in the “Głos Plastyków” a series of monthly columns that were collectively titled Listy z Warszawy [Letters from Warsaw]. The texts constituted a personal chronicle of Warsaw’s artistic life. The author chronologically commented on the level of contemporary art criticism, which, in his opinion, was characterized by conservatism and lack of openness to new trends in art, which, according to the author, were reaching Poland with a considerable delay. In addition, he shared his comments on the exhibition policy of Towarzystwo Zachęty Sztuk Pięknych, Instytut Propagandy Sztuki, and the National Museum in Warsaw. Czyżewski’s articles reveal the genuineness of observation and a solid evaluative attitude; their concept and the title itself bring to mind his Listy z Paryża [Letters from Paris]. The latter were published in Zwrotnica in 1922–1923 when Czyżewski resided in Paris and was a foreign correspondent collaborating with the magazine
Tytus krewnym Łukasza?
No full textThe author verifies Ramsay and Souter’s suggestion – put forward more than a hundred years ago – that Luke and Titus, Paul’s collaborators, were brothers. They came to this conclusion because there is no mention of Titus in the Acts. To verify the proposition the author conducts a study of Titus’ historical position in Paul’s mission and then of his significance as compared to that of the apostle’s other associates in the Acts. The conclusion may be reached that making no mention of Titus in the Acts is not accidental. The only reason for this that can be justified is the same one that made Luke, the author of the Acts, pass in silence over his own person. On this basis we find that the reason of not mentioning Titus is in the same relation to the work as to its author, that is in the close relation between Paul’s two collaborators. Ramsay and Souter’s specific suggestion that Titus was Luke’s brother does not find confirmation, but it points to the direction in which to look for a solution to the problem, that is to a certain relationship between them
Poems with a Date. Cyprian Norwid's Do Tytusa M. [`To Tytus M.']
No full textThe poem Do Tytusa M. has not enjoyed much popularity with Norwid's commentators. One reason why it is not regarded as important is that it was written to mark a particular, private occasion. The view that the poem was meant for momentary use is supported by where it was first made public: in the album of its addressee, the Polish pastellist Tytus Maleszewski, and then in the Warsaw feuilleton Gwiazdka. The present writer suggests that the poem should be interpreted within the context in which it first appeared, i.e. as an element of the public dispute of the years 1857-1860 concerning Polish art, relations between the Emigration and home, commercialization of culture, etc. If we consider the first placements of the poem bearing in mind the articles published in the Paris „Wiadomości Polskie” in 1857, the momentary quality associated with the album and the feuilleton reveals itself to have been rather a permanent disposition of the Warsaw intellectual circles, palpably felt since the defeat of the 1831 uprising. Owing to its theme (an intended portrait) and its album form, the poem occupies a place, not on the margins, but in the very midst of the heated discussion conducted in the home and emigration press.
The present author's interest in the public dimension of the poem is not to be taken to mean that she chooses to lose from view Norwid's poetic diction. The complexities of Norwid's idiom are signalled in the poem by the motif of the stone pine with its semantic associations, which must have been important to the translator of parts of the Divine Comedy and the Odyssey. In connection with that motif, the author considers the distinction between what might be called an „artistic” attitude and a condition thoroughly determined by biological, social and historical circumstances
A Coupled Numerical Heat Transfer in the Transient Multicycle CFD Aircraft Engine Model
No full textAbstractThe temperature distribution in a reciprocating combustion engine has an impact on its wear and thermal efficiency. Uneven material properties, varied geometry, diverse heat loads and flow conditions make it unfeasible to use a simple analytical mathematical model that covers the heat transfer. The numerical steady state heat transfer model was used to calculate the external surfaces heat transfer coefficient and to develop two transient coupled models - one for the temperature distribution and one for engine's transient in-cylinder processes, including a combustion and species transport sub-models. The methods intended to decrease a computational time for a transient temperature equilibrium were used. The paper discusses the research results on a high power air-cooled aircraft radial engine. A temperature distribution was investigated in different model regions. A lumped heat transfer model was developed for engine walls

W aneksie autor opublikował ww. korespondencję Działyńskiego z Baworowskim.This paper aims to present the history of a precious manuscript from the collections of the Kórnik Library – Autograf Kościuszki. The manuscript, written by Tadeusz Kościuszko in mid-1793, contains Opis kampanii r. 1792 – a description of a campaign launched against Russia. Having analysed the manuscript and discussed all the eight editions of its text, the author of the article presents its history up until the death of Józef Dobek Dzierzkowski from Lviv (1830). He subsequently discusses a brief history of Tytus Działyński’s acquaintance with Wiktor Baworowski, as contained in their mutual correspondence, which discloses the further complex fate of Autograf Kościuszki – information on its subsequent owner and the circumstances in which it found its way into the collections of the Kórnik Library. Finally, all the copies of the manuscript known from literature are discussed. In the Annex, the author publishes inter alia the abovementioned correspondence between Działyński and Baworowsk
The Polish Ministry of the Interior and the Solidarność Offices in the Federal Republic of Germany - between semioperational reconnaissance and politically conditioned pragmatism. Some theses and case studies.
No full textThe main aim of the study was not only to provide a synthetic discussion of the basic activities of the interior ministry of the People’s Republic of Poland in relation to Solidarity representations in West Germany in the 1980s. Much more important was a critical polemic with two groups of witnesses to the point mentioned above, i.e. secret service officers and former democratic opposition activists, who presented extreme views on their own trade union work in the Federal Republic or pointed out the alleged operational capabilities of the Polish Security Service. The author of the text didn’t agree with the views of the two aforementioned groups
